Honeywell PTM7950 TIM
The Honeywell PTM7950 Thermal Interface Material (TIM) offers a premium solution for high-performance electronics, particularly in the demanding field of graphics processing units (GPUs). The PTM7950 delivers superior thermal conductivity, enhancing the reliability and longevity of graphics cards by its outstanding material characteristics.
Free Flow
The Free Flow cooling design is tailored for axial fan systems, featuring an advanced heatsink fin module that optimizes airflow paths. By reducing turbulence and channeling air efficiently, it maximizes heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy thermal loads.
AeroCurve Fan Blade
The latest fan blade design builds upon its predecessor with advancements that reduce air friction, increasing the usable fan RPM range while maintaining low noise levels. This refined design ensures improved airflow, optimized static pressure, and enhanced cooling efficiency for demanding applications.
Optimized Composite Heatpipe
The composite heatpipes are fine-tuned for each individual cooling design with optimal heat flow, efficiently and evenly spreading out the heat to the entire cooling module.
Integrated Cooling Module
Integrated Cooling is an advanced thermal management solution engineered to provide efficient heat dissipation across all critical components of a graphics card. This innovative design ensures direct contact with the GPU, memory modules, and VRMs, delivering uniform thermal regulation. By addressing all major heat sources, the Integrated Cooling Module helps maintain stable operating temperatures, improving overall system performance and reliability. Ideal for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and overclocking, it ensures optimal thermal efficiency under sustained use.
Tough Metal Backplate
The all-aluminum backplate provides additional rigidity that guarantees nothing bends and dust stays out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.
FrameDefense
The mechanical design of the graphics card features a robust, box-like frame that ensures exceptional build quality and durability. This solid construction provides a protective enclosure for all internal components, reducing the risk of damage during handling or installation. This rigid frame offers added stability and strength, making it highly resistant to accidental impacts or pressure, ensuring that the delicate components, such as the GPU, memory, and VRMs, remain secure. With this design, users can confidently handle the card without worrying about compromising its integrity or performance.
Two-Ball Bearing
These feature Dual Ball bearing fans, which have an approximately 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearings in our tests. The improvements to the fan blades means the solution is up to 10% quieter than the previous generation.
High TG Copper PCB
The GPU is mounted on to the high-density 12 layer 2oz Copper and high TG PCB to match the rapid speed, high current and increased power requirement of the GPU and memory to guarantee high stability of the PCB during operation.
Fuse Protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.
L-Shape Graphics Card Supporter
The L-Shaped Graphics Card Holder is a versatile solution designed to secure heavy GPUs, prevent sagging, and simplify removal of the graphics card from the PCIe slot during upgrades or maintenance. Crafted from durable materials with a sleek design, it ensures stability, longevity, and seamless integration into any modern PC build. Use the rubber tip of the bracket to help conduct the extraction of the graphics card easily and safely when removing for cleaning and maintenance.
